2014 North Texas Health Forum

Our purpose is to inform the community of the impact of the built environment on lifestyle and health and the potential for creating improvement in Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Texas.

How can individuals and communities become healthier?

An important factor in our physical and mental health, and the prevention of illness and chronic disease, is our environment – the places where we live, work and play. Communities that are designed to support and encourage healthy lifestyles provide opportunities and an environment for healthy living,
physical activity and healthy eating.

The built environment refers to the community infrastructure, including buildings,
roads, sidewalks, parks and other spaces for physical activity, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, workplaces and other man-made areas where we live.

Attendees at this interactive, two-day conference will hear national and local speakers sharing best practices for creating healthier environments, and will help develop recommendations for moving to the next level in Fort Worth and Tarrant County.

This event is free and open to the community.
Please forward this email to anyone interested in attending.
